Youth Night
April 30, 2013, 7pm
Our seventh annual Youth Night features the Nancy Carnegie Merrill History Award Winners, with music performed by Exeter High School students and refreshments provided by Screamer’s Cafe. The event is generously sponsored by Service Credit Union. Exeter Town Manager Russ Dean will deliver the opening remarks. The student winners of the Nancy Carnegie Merrill History Award represent two local schools, the Cooperative Middle School and Exeter High School. The students will be reading their winning papers aloud during Youth Night, prior to the presentation of the awards. The event is being “emceed” by Exeter High School student Meghan Donovan. A group of Exeter High School students will show their award-winning documentary, “No Clear Victor: Nuclear Diplomacy from 1945 to Today,” which recently earned second place in the Senior Group Documentary category at the National History Day/New Hampshire competition. Also, two Exeter High seniors will present their award-winning dramatic performance, “CANDLES: Turning Humanity’s Dark Evil into Courageous Light”. We hope to see you there!

Petticoat Patriot: A Woman in the Continental Army |
|
Annual Meeting, May 7, 2013
In 1778, sixty dollars a year in gold was a tempting offer to army recruits. Deborah Sampson thought so. Chautauquan Joan Gatturna, combining her research and theatrical skills, will bring to life this remarkable true story of a young Massachusetts woman who fought as an enlisted soldier in the American Revolution. This program is sponsored by the NHHC.
